i’m not sure that i agree with this at all. Microsoft, itself, has been having issues lately, and i don’t think this is a Bing vs Google search thing. But i believe those issues are temporary.
Overall, the direction that Google is taking with its search engine is probably a bigger threat to Google, considering, i suspect, people really aren’t going to like it.

I dunno… it’s very popular here. The major issue to consider is the also very popular medical racket to get access to the medical stuff.
You have to pay a doctor for a prescription (which is basically some performative bullshit so they get to charge a fee), then you have to pay the state a fee. But you can only have a prescription for 7 months before you have to renew, yet you have to renew your state registration every year— each for a separate fee.
The only ones dumb enough to fall for this bullshit are the ones who absolutely will, and are not gonna be swayed by any articles, no matter how well written or well reasoned.
it also teaches their kid that selfish motivations and material rewards are the only things of value, and that they’re worth liying, cheating, and even stealing for-- as long as you don’t get caught, because right and wrong are only a matter of the consequences one may personally face. and, even then, it’s a cost-benefit analysis. again, the zero-sum game.
It’s an expected outcome, but that doesn’t make it right.
i didn’t say that
I’m really not sure what the appropriate reaction should be.
not to be surprised that it happened, for one. and, while universities do generally, have an atmosphere which support free expression, and many even have somewhat permissive protest policies, they’re private property. now, i’m not defending the actions of the universities, but i’m saying that getting arrested for protesting on private property vs while protesting on public property are two different things-- and one isn’t nearly as outrageous as the other.
Since you haven’t proven any of those accusation, this seems just another obvious insult and your inability to use the word “charity” correctly.
If you get this uncontrollably nasty just because an internet stranger said something that made you mad, perhaps it’s time to go outside for a break. Perhaps enjoy some nice herbal tea.
Best of luck with your emotional and vocabulary issues.
That’s one way to look at it. Another is that, rather than truly outrageously throwing the book at these protesters, the worst they got was a massive inconvenience.
Now, I’m not trying to downplay getting arrested - even brutally so. I have been arrested at protests by some nasty pigs who beat the shit out of me, and I have spend nights in jail as a result. I know how bad that shit sucks.
What I’m saying is that it’s what they signed up for. And if they want to protest police brutality, go do that, too, but don’t act all shocked that this happened.
Edit: in an ideal world, protesters would be treated with dignity and respect— but if we lived in an ideal world, there would be no need to protest.
Probably one of the most famous comedy bits of all time. I’m always delighted when I see some variation of it pop up in tv shows and movies, although not all are well-executed.
